April, 2009 – Brizo®, the fashion faucet brand, recently unveiled a classic from the past featuring up-to-date "green" technology. The Tresa® Bath Collection features traditional classic design inspired by the earliest of European fountains with water conservation benefits that meet today's consumers' needs.

"Tresa's design harkens back to a different era, but its functionality is all about meeting modern needs," said Amy Hillsman, senior brand manager, Brizo. "The Tresa Collection allows homeowners who seek fashion-forward design and performance to create a beautiful, indulgent experiencein the bath while remaining environmentally responsible."

The Tresa lavatory faucets are labeled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as water-efficient with an official WaterSense designation. The lavatory faucets flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 psi, saving approximately 30% of water over its 2.2 gpm counterparts. In addition, discerning homeowners who seek a water-efficient shower system without sacrificing design, comfort or performance have the option of a medium flow thermostatic shower system. Body sprays with H2Okinetic Technology® flow at a rate of 1.6 gpm and provide a luxury feel while delivering 36% less water than conventional shower systems.

The Tresa Collection encompasses an expansive suite of coordinated products with "old world" European influence: a single-hole, single-handle vessel deck with an optional riser; a single-hole, two-handle lavatory; a widespread lavatory; a wall mount lavatory; a three- and four-hole Roman tub; and a widespread bridge lavatory – a first for Brizo. The collection offers a choice of cross or lever handles. For the shower, homeowners may choose from a medium or high flow thermostatic shower - with customizable options such as body sprays with H2Okinetic Technology. A complete line of coordinated bath accessories rounds out the extensive Tresa Collection.

The Tresa Collection is available in a variety of finishes including Polished Chrome, Brilliance® Brushed Nickel, Brilliance® Brushed Bronze and the popular Venetian Bronze®.
